The Auto Pistol Outdoorsman (APO) represents a refined approach to open-carry holstering for the serious hunter, camper, and wilderness adventurer. This is a holster designed with the realities of field use in mind—not the range, not the street, but the backcountry.
The APO224R distinguishes itself through genuine flexibility. You can wear it strongside or crossdraw, depending on your preference, terrain, and what gear you're carrying. This adaptability means one holster serves multiple purposes across different hunting and camping scenarios.
Low Ride Positioning: The holster sits lower on the belt, which accomplishes two things—it increases comfort during extended wear and prevents interference with pack straps and other outdoor gear.
Retention System: A traditional retention strap with a glove-friendly polymer tab keeps your pistol secure whether you're moving through brush, navigating rough terrain, or working from horseback, motorcycle, or ATV.
Custom Fit: An adjustable tension screw allows you to dial in the exact retention level your pistol requires.
Galco uses unlined premium steerhide throughout. This material breaks in naturally, develops character with use, and withstands the genuine hard knocks of field work. The holster is hand-molded in detail—a process that both enhances retention and creates the refined appearance expected from quality leather work.
